Melbourne's baddest and cutest DJ duo @in2stellar understood the assignment. Bringing Body Verse back to life after our unplanned hiatus with a smashing 2 hours of their most intergalactic material. IN2STELLAR always get the people dancing whether they're at @pitchfestival, the legendary @loseitlucid nights or soon to be at Strawberry Fields. They also recently released their first gorgeous luscious trance track on @phenomenarecords! So happy to have these two on the series! Thank you @georgia-bird-3 and @djsarahmorgan!

BODY MIX 008 | IN2STELLAR

@hitfactoryrecs is @djwawabk, @claywilson, and their musical orbit of friends and collaborators. Their regular mixes and releases stand as a foil to perfectionism, commodification, and the music industry PR machine — two relative veterans of the music community reclaiming DJing and production on their own terms.

"This mix was recorded at the Hit Factory with nothing but vibes in mind. This ain’t a mix to prove that we’re good or know how to beat match or anything like that. Just years and years of listening to music with the hope of gaining a deeper understanding of it along with ourselves. Let the feelings take over when you hear the music not the thoughts."

Fact Mix 849: Abena (Mar '22)

Photonz is a leading figure in the underground music scene in his home of Lisbon. Alongside fellow DJ, partner and collaborator Violet, he's helped put the city on the map through an array of parties, collectives and initiatives, whilst also creating and facilitating spaces for artists in Lisbon to thrive.

It's with Violet that he launched Rádio Quântica, following years of experience in national and local radio, as a grassroots platform to support the local scene and give a voice to artists and activists from across Portugal.

mina is another of his inclusive and supportive initiatives. With Violet, Rabbit Hole co-founder marum and collaborator VIEGAS, he launched the queer trans feminist sex-positive party as an alternative to the other clubbing options in the city. It's now grown to be come a collective of diverse DJs and producers working together to nurture a safe space and use the medium of music to advocate for sexual and gender liberation.

And all the above doesn't even cover his extensive work as a producer. Manoeuvring sonically somewhere between electro, acid and techno, his output has landed him releases on the likes of Dark Entries, Unknown To The Unknown, Don't Be Afraid and, of course, Violet's Naive imprint - the home of his latest release Planetary Spirit.

From the sounds of it, there's plenty in the pipeline for Photonz release-wise, solo, collaboratively and as part of Mercury Haze alongside his pals Ness and Slug Beetle. And on top of production, he'll be spending his time focusing on the new venue and gearing up for some exciting live sets later this year. But before that he takes control of this week's Ransom Note mix, channeling that Tuesday rave energy with a blend of bubbling electro, techno and breaks.

Advice for the DJs, producers and artists of our community:
It helps me a lot to always be mindful of why I DJ, because every now and then I can feel a little burnt out! So for me personally I know that its my way of connecting with others and sharing myself – and really an act of service. So, I try not to ever forget that DJing is an act of self-care for myself - and keeping that in mind is such a good antidote to things like negative self-talk!
